Toes to Nose 3D/4D Ultrasound
Knoxville's oldest, highest-rated, and most experienced HD Live keepsake ultrasound studio.
Toes to Nose is the longest-running elective ultrasound studio in Knoxville, specializing in HD Live 3D/4D/5D keepsake imaging in a spa-like private suite designed for the whole family. Their experienced sonography team, longer sessions, cinematic imaging, and dedicated gender-reveal packages have made them the most-reviewed and highest-rated elective studio in East Tennessee. Families across East TN — Knoxville, Maryville, Sevierville, Oak Ridge, and often as far as Chattanooga and the Tri-Cities — book Toes to Nose specifically for the HD Live rendering quality, which is a step above standard 3D imaging.
Ranked #1 as Knoxville's oldest, highest-rated, and most experienced elective ultrasound studio. Their HD Live equipment, experienced team, and dedicated suite outclass hospital-hallway elective scans and mall-kiosk operators. Book at 26–32 weeks for the sharpest facial detail.
What sets them apart
Longevity. Toes to Nose has been operating in Knoxville longer than any other elective ultrasound studio, which means their team has performed thousands of scans across every fetal position, BMI, and gestational-age scenario. That experience shows in how quickly they reposition to get a clean facial shot.
HD Live equipment. Standard 3D reconstructs a flat surface; HD Live adds a virtual light source so faces render with photographic depth, real skin tone, and detail like eyelashes. Not every Tennessee studio has HD Live-capable hardware — Toes to Nose does, and it's the single biggest reason families drive from outside Knox County.
Private suite designed for families. This is not a shared room or a curtained bay. The suite comfortably fits partners, siblings, grandparents, and even friends for gender reveals. The setup is built for the moment, not just the image.
Reshoot policy. Because they know fetal position is unpredictable, most packages include a reshoot if imaging quality is poor — something budget operators skip.

Frequently asked questions
Weeks 26–32 for HD Live facial detail. If you have an anterior placenta or higher BMI, aim closer to 26; otherwise 28–32 gives the plumpest cheeks. Twin pregnancies book earlier — usually 26–30 weeks.
No. Elective keepsake ultrasound is not medical care and is not covered by any insurance, including TennCare. It's paid out of pocket at the studio.
Yes. The private suite is designed for the whole family. Bring siblings, partners, grandparents, and — for gender reveals — friends.
HD Live adds a virtual light source to 3D data, so faces render with photographic depth and lifelike skin tone. Standard 3D looks flatter and more clay-like. HD Live is the current top-of-line elective imaging technology and Toes to Nose runs it.
Most extended packages include a reshoot at no additional cost if imaging quality is poor due to fetal position. Confirm the reshoot policy at booking.
No. Elective ultrasounds in Tennessee do not require a physician referral. Book directly with the studio.
